Ingredients

- Cilantro1 cup
- Mint10
- Scallion4
- Garlic1
- Flour2 tbsp
- Cumin1 tsp
- Baking powder½ tsp
- Salt

Instructions
- Soak the dried chickpeas in plenty of water overnight, for at least 8 hours, in a bowl with room for them to double in size.
- Drain, then pulse the soaked chickpeas in a food processor a few times until chopped.
- Roughly chop all the herbs and add them to the processor with the other ingredients.
- Blitz until everything is combined and finely chopped, but keep some texture.
- With wet hands, roll the mixture into balls using a tablespoon, place them on a baking-paper-lined tray and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the sauce, put all the tahini sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until creamy. If too thick, add more water.
- Deep fry: heat oil and fry the falafel for a few minutes until golden on each side, in batches so they do not touch. Drain on paper towels.
- Air fry: preheat the air fryer to 350°F/180°C. Place the balls in a single layer without touching and spray the tops with olive oil. Cook for 11-13 minutes until golden, then turn, spray the tops again and cook for another 2 minutes.
